Cursor CLI Agent Skill

This skill provides expert knowledge for using the Cursor CLI (agent / cursor-agent). When the user asks to use this skill or run the Cursor CLI, use your available tools (their descriptions tell you when to call them). The Cursor CLI requires a real terminal (PTY) — the terminal skill provides persistent sessions for this.
